Chapter 1090

While Valerie packed up their things for the move back to Hesperia, Peter was driving with Celeste and their little girls toward Willowcombe.

He was taking her to see how the renovations on the house-where they'd soon be living-were coming along.

Celeste was in the back seat with the girls, tending to them, though her mind kept drifting back to memories.

Less than a year ago, she'd imagined a very different future. When she found out she was pregnant, things between her and Peter weren't exactly great.

She figured her life wouldn't be easy again-but she also knew she was strong, and that she'd raise her daughters no matter what.

Now, looking at where she was, she couldn't help but feel... strange.

The Peter beside her wasn't at all like the man she'd once fallen in love with. But she was thankful that this man the one here now-was choosing to walk beside her.

He tried every day to win her over again. Everything he did was to make her happy. She was practically living with a man who didn't remember much about his past at least not half of it.

"What are you thinking about?" Peter asked, noticing his future wife staring off into the distance.

"Oh... nothing. Well, everything, actually. Peter... Can I ask you something?" "Of course. Go ahead."

"Are you really sure... that you want to spend your whole life with me?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Peter was taken aback by the question. He pulled over to the side of the road, got out of the car, walked to her door, opened it, and offered his hand to help her out.

"Why that question all of a sudden?" he asked, looking straight into her eyes.
